All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgenwebarchives.org *********************************************** These obituaries have been collected over the years by myself and by my mother, Norma Louise Wilcox Williams prior to her death in 1992. Most of the obituaries do not show a paper name or date published. Most of them came from The Stone County Leader in Mountain View, Stone County, Arkansas. If from another paper, this will be noted at the end of the obiturary. If there are no dates mentioned (as sometimes happens in older notices), I will attempt to include dates at the end. One final note, 99% of these people are all relatives. If someone makes a connection or would like the information I have, please contact me.
